About 0R9130Z
0R9130Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the cervical vertebral joint using a percutaneous approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Arthrocentesis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.91).
For a different body part, codes include 0R9030Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0R9330Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0R9430Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0R9530Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0R9630Z (thoracic vertebral joint), 0R9930Z (thoracic vertebral disc) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0R9100Z (open) and 0R9140Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0R913ZZ (no device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
